Legitimacy of this site?

I'm looking to pick up the DT 770's which in Canada as for any headphones can be a pain to find. I've came across a site which offers the best price I can find but I've never heard of it before. Is this site legit? Also, are there any other sites that sells for cheaper?

Haven't used ekonomik.com but I think you should get the same headphone at Long & McQuade for $185. Personally I would get the 250 ohm version which Long & McQuade is selling for $165. Long & McQuade is both online and brick/mortar with great return policy.

If they have a physical location (which it appears they do, clicking through the contact us section) more often than not you can trust them. Give them a call too, that can be reassuring.

I've never heard of them. But,

 

The economik.com domain was registered in 1996. That's a good sign.

 

The domain registrant is in Turkey but the shop is in Montreal. That's not a very good sign.

 

A Google search reveals nobody discussing the company, its products, or its services. That's really not a good sign.
